A reader has sent us a message: “why has a large Polynesian security guard been employed to sit in the foyer and do nothing?”
Readers will remember that WINZ began doing this after an awful incident in Ashburton in 2014 when an enraged member of the public came in and shot three staff members, two fatally.
Does the KCDC now think a Kapiti ratepayer might do that with the latest massive rates hike? Or do they expect Kapiti people to come in and express their opinion of the management’s defamation and mistreatment of Cr David Scott?
I think it may be the latter Geoffrey. From what people have been saying to me they all think it is a stitch up. But unfortunately KCDC have the power and the money (ratepayers money). Anybody who believes this sad state of affairs must be completely naive. Somebody else has been threatened now.
It’s a fine mess when they fear their own ratepayers, whom they supposedly are there to serve, or are they trying to generate an aura of intimidation like some tinpot third world banana republic?
We think the aura of intimidation has been in place for a while, begun by Dougherty and Rowan and continued by Power.
